Batman #157 is Chip Zdarsky's last issue of Batman, published today by DC Comics, with regular artists Jorge Jimenez and Tony S Daniels.

Previously, he had put it down to meteor fragments in jewellery affecting the minds of their owners to gather together in one place to attract more meteors to Gotham. But that's a bit cosmic. In today's Batman #157, with the dying confession of the leader of the Court Of Owls, we find a different form of intelligent design at play. Trying to stop Bruce Wayne from building a sense of community in Gotham…
